Rider Reviews & Product Details

On a certain day, I was working with Visual Studio and got a problem with versions of .NET in a Windows computer, so I opened the Rider IDE and Rider could comprehend the error in a path of .NET versions and worked perfect because it understood the mistake and provided the tool to continue my working without any error while the Visual Studio didn't work properly and didn't provide any correct suggestion to correct the bug.

Sometimes is a let bit slowly couse my old computer =) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the toolkit, the extensions and the customization that it has.

It has a great community and the proper company has gives you a big support.

It's easy to use and the user experience is quite good. From VS Studio to Rider and I am not regreting it at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with GitHub copilot could be better, sometimes it has a lot of issues with memory and sometimes is not functional when you have 2 Rider windows opened, this is quite bad UX but with all other things it could be acceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vast variety of coding languages support, Awesome IntelliSense feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Community version has limited features only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rider allows the user to preserve keyboard scheme from Resharper or Visual Basic - which is very convenient for switchers. It also allows full customization of keyboard shortcuts according to the user's preferences. Navigating across files and searching for features is very easy - thanks to its combined file and action search. Code Cleanup is very helpful for independent developers like me because it simplifies my code to a great extent. Find and Replace feature can even work across files to omit duplicate instances. The Debugger is even capable of decompiling the source code to locate faulty functions. Rider is efficiently capable of maintaining multiple projects in a centralized manner.

I had to make my own template as default templates were not exactly suitable. Setting up the debugger with environment variables seemed a bit counterintuitive. After debugging codes, changes will not be visible until a run is stopped and the solution is rerun - which was quite confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love all of the Jetbrains suite of IDEs. They are easy to use, and the ability to synchronize settings across IDEs is very helpful! It was very easy for our team to switch from Visual Studio to Rider. The many plugins and simple UI are really nice. I feel that the out-of-the-box features are also a bit more advanced than Visual Studio. Pricing is also very competitive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of their biggeset downsides is the lack of integration with legacy systems for developing .net software for Windows. The language support for VB.net leaves some to be desired, and the lack fo a drag-and-drop editor for WinForms makes Visual Studio much more appealing.

It is also harder to find good project templates for Rider, as it is not as commonly used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the thing that I love on this is auto complition, suggestion and auto import of classess.

I become more effecient this compare to visual studio code and visual studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its hard to migrate my working environment

The default config the size of text is too large, the spacing is too wide.

Setting sass compiler quite challenging incounter some issue.

This the issue is after setting up the sass compiler at first saving its compiles but after making changes on scss file it not compite automatically I need to delete the compiled file in order to apply my changes. after lot of searching there is a trick need to delete line of text in config after that hard time. This application works fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to run on Windows and Linux much better than other IDEs. Availability of many tools and plugins such as Copilot, Amazon Q, GitLen and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike is that the annual license fee is a bit high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I never faced any problem while using rider. But sometimes package installation and debugging run slower than usual. It's not a big problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really resembles Visual Studio skills and tools. Really user-friendly UI. It's really easy to develop for .NET using Rider. Has hot reload and really good integrations with cloud and Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not free.

I think it consumes more resources than VS and far more than VSCode.

It would be better to be a lot more extensible like VSCode.

Only for .NET.

Not so many extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rider is the exact some as every other Jetbrains IDE, so once you learn one of them you know all of them so to speak. No suprises. The documentation compared to other IDEs is also superior in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is much harder to assign custom keybinds in my opinion, such as creating one to open the last viewed tab. I also do not like its file search feature as it wont auto clear things that were in it before hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
